Pension Auto-Enrolment in Zero Minutes

Eliminate pension admin with paiyroll^®

Pension auto-enrolment is a crucial part of payroll compliance, but it remains a tedious, manual process for many businesses. There is plenty of payroll software out there that may automate some tasks, but employers and payroll bureaus are still left with significant admin: logging into pension portals, submitting enrolments, processing contributions, waiting for approvals, approving payments, and marking non-enrolled employees—all for every single pay run.

That doesn’t sound very automated to us at paiyroll^®, so we challenged the status quo to bring you a fully automated pension auto-enrolment so you never have to do pension admin again. Our AI-powered automation eliminates all manual pension tasks – that’s right, ALL – handling everything behind the scenes in real time. No more manual initiating data transfer after approval, no logging in to pension providers, no more file uploads, no more calculations and no more waiting around. Just approve payroll, and pension auto-enrolment is done.

AI Talks to Pension Providers for You

Many payroll providers use Application Programming Interface (API) to integrate with pension providers. That’s all good and well, but this is often with limited automation capabilities, and payroll professionals are still forced to:

Remember to manually initiate the sending of enrolment data for eligible employees after payroll is processed
Log in to the pension provider’s portal to check for opt-outs and manually update records
Wait for confirmation from the provider before moving to the next step

For bureaus handling multiple clients, this means repeating this process for every client—logging into NEST (or other providers), submitting, waiting, approving, and finalising multiple times.

paiyroll^® is fully integrated with leading pension providers like NEST, Smart Pension, The People’s Pension, and more. Instead of requiring manual uploads, paiyroll^® automatically:

Assesses workers for eligibility

Submits enrolment details in real-time—no need to trigger submissions

Receives opt-out notifications instantly and adjusts contributions accordingly

Syncs with pension providers continuously, eliminating the need for follow-ups

Pensions Schemes Without User Intervention

Even if a typical payroll software integrates with pension providers, users still must manually approve pension contributions every payroll cycle:

The payroll system generates the pension contributions
The payroll professional must log into the pension provider’s portal to approve the payments
Delays in approvals mean contributions might be submitted late, causing compliance risks

For payroll bureaus handling multiple clients, this means logging into multiple pension accounts, approving contributions individually, and tracking deadlines.

paiyroll^® eliminates all these steps entirely and even lets you choose an unlimited number of pension schemes. Once payroll is approved, pension contributions are automatically submitted and processed. There’s no need to trigger pension submissions, log into pension portals to approve contributions or worry about missing deadlines—paiyroll^® does it instantly.

This means payroll professionals never have to check whether pensions were submitted or approved—it’s already done.

Nothing To Do Even After Pension Submission

Even after pension contributions are submitted, payroll teams still have to:

Check for errors or rejected payments on the pension provider’s system.
Manually correct issues, such as employees being marked as not enrolled.
Track down late approvals or process adjustments for opt-outs.

If there’s a mistake, it requires even more manual intervention, causing delays, compliance risks, and extra admin.

paiyroll^® completely removes manual follow-ups and tracking approvals by:

Automatically marking employees as enrolled (or opted out)

Submitting pension data and tracking responses in real-time

Instantly adjusting payroll records when pension providers confirm changes

Instead of manually managing pension admin, you simply approve payroll—and everything else is handled for you.

You decide when to run payroll—not your software.
